T* (Weight/Tonnage)

As with the Length tag, this allows a being's weight to be described either in general/comparative terms or in specific units.

Standard spectrum

The traditional descriptions are included in italics. As these indicate, this way of measurement isn't intended to be taken too literally or seriously.

Oddly enough, there is no “variable” subtype (T~) listed in the sources for one whose weight isn't constant.

T+++! (Black-Hole)

Everything gravitates towards me eventually!

T+++ (Massive)

I've been eating rocks again!

T++ (Obese)

I'm on a sea-food diet … I see food and eat it!

T+ (Over-weight)

I've been eating too many doughnuts again!

T (Normal)

I'm as normal a weight as one gets.

T- (Under-weight)

I've not had a good meal for ages!

T-- (Buoyant)

I've been breathing helium again!

T--- (Feather-weight)

I get blown about by the wind.

T---! (Weightless)

I'm made out of gossamer.

Quantitative method

It's also possible to specify a weight in units, using the form T[number][unit abbreviation].

As Wyrm's site noted: “The Imperial measures are complicated so only the British Avoirdupois measures are specifically coded. Even so, there are still possible confusions to the unwary as one can have long hundredweight (112 lbs), short hundredweight (100 lbs), metric hundredweight (50 kg), and short tons (2000 lbs). If you use a different system then add that system in “double quotes” after the tag, e.g. T12o”Troy indicates 'I am 12 Troy ounces in weight.'”
